Our number one goal at Brightwater
is to help our Members live longer,
healthier and happier lives. Located
on 60- acres, our gated community is
designed to better the quality of life
of each of our Members. Through
our award-winning wellness program,
our dedication to preparing and serving fantastic food, our ability to provide services allowing people to stay
independent in their own home and
by abiding by the simple rule of…
“
…treating others like
we want to be treated…
“
I wish I would have
moved here sooner.
With our abundant services taking the daily work
out of your life, you’ll get to spend more time on
hobbies, travel, family, friends and enjoying all the
amenities and social life at the community. In short,
Brightwater is The Weller Life®.
”“
…we give people the ability to live

We hear that statement all the time from our
Members. Once they move into Brightwater they
realize that the things that concerned them the most
about moving are irrelevant. Brightwater isn’t about
losing independence. It’s about making a change in
your lifestyle affording you the opportunity to maintain
and enjoy your independence for the rest of your life.
…The Weller Life®,
without the worry.

Our program is enhanced by our partnership with Wake Forest University and the
J. Paul Sticht Center on Aging. Their research
is committed to improving the quality of life for
every one of our Members and promoting a long
and healthy lifestyle for seniors. Through partnerships we’ve been able to examine new tools
for measuring health, increase knowledge of healthy
weight management in the senior adult, build new
exercise programs and offer more choices promoting
independence while aging.
Our classes are taught by our Wellness
staff, who are certified and trained to
deliver high quality instruction and guidance to
assist our Members in achieving personal fitness goals as well as lead the way to The Weller
Life®. Like having a personal trainer, they make
sure each Member gets the attention and encouragement needed to achieve maximum results and
live life to the fullest!
24 Hour Emergency Care!
Security & 24-Hour Staff
We are the reality of security because
we have staff on hand 24 hours every day.
When security matters most, we’re there. Our
Members’ safety and security is of the utmost importance at Brightwater. Every cottage and villa apartment
is fully equipped with an emergency call ( E-Call ) system.
Activated at the touch of a button, the E-Call system
offers protection and peace of mind for you, your family
and friends.
Pendant or bracelet devices are available. These
portable devices may be carried throughout the
home. If a health emergency arises you can quickly
alert staff members of trouble. This information is
displayed over a computer and sent to a pocket
pager worn by our staff. The E-Call system, along with
the help of our caring staff can, and has, saved lives in
our communities. The most common events that cause a
Member to activate the E-Call system are falls, loss of
breath, dizziness, weakness, etc. Because those symptoms can lead to more serious illness, it’s best that it’s
detected early with the help of the E-Call system.
Brightwater Emergency Call System
•Wireless pendants or bracelets that
can travel anywhere in the home
with the Member
•Equipment that translates the signal
into a computer and paging device
•Paging devices that notify the
caregivers on staff of trouble
•Integration with smoke detection
systems so the staff knows about
trouble even before the fire
department knows
These complex systems allow our Members
to maintain their independence with the security
of knowing that emergency assistance is just a push
button away.
Experience Dining
One of our members said,
“
My wife used to say,
‘I wonder what’s for dinner.’
Then we moved here and now she says,
‘I wonder what I’m going
to wear to dinner.’
”
Much like our Wellness Program, the dining services at Brightwater are
built around the simple idea of “choice.” All of our food is cooked fresh to
order and served table side or bar side by our dining services staff. Our highend, restaurant quality, daily menu consists of approximately 15 entrées
plus daily specials. The menu changes regularly and everything is cooked to
your specifications.
Each one of our menus contains wellness options that meet the American
Heart Association’s criteria for healthy eating (& reduction of waistlines)! Part
of our Wellness Menu offerings centers around the Mediterranean Diet. The
Mediterranean Diet is a heart-healthy plan that combines elements of Mediterranean-style cooking and food preparation. Besides the food itself, two non-edible portions of the Mediterranean Diet that Brightwater enables our Members
to easily engage in are 1) getting plenty of exercise and 2) enjoying meals with
friends and family.
‘Cause at the end of the day, enjoying good food with good friends and family
makes life that much more enjoyable. And at Brightwater, we’ve got enough
selections to fit most every single palate.
Wellness is a key to living a full and fun life and every part of our community,
including our menu, is designed to enable our Members to live a higher quality
of life.

Referral
We’re always looking for friendly
new faces to join in on the fun at
the Brightwater community.
What better way to find them than
asking our very own Members?
It’s easy! Once you decide to move to
Brightwater, just invite your friends to come take
a look and see for themselves the wonderful lifestyle we’ve got to offer. When they move in, we’ll
give you $2,500 for a Cottage or Apartment sale!
• Personally accompany your
friends to the sales office.
• Referral must purchase within one year.
•
If you have previously brought a friend in, the program will still apply if they purchase within one year of the date you brought them in.
•
You may receive the referral fee in the form of a check to you, a check to the purchaser, a check to your favorite charity, as a credit against the monthly service fee or as a
combination of these choices.

Health Care
if You Need It
The Retreat at Brightwater
While our goal is to help each member of Brightwater
live independently for the remainder of their lives, we know
that sometimes more support is needed than can be
provided in your home. If occasions should arise when
rehabilitation, assistance or memory care is needed,
Brightwater offers help for almost every healthcare need.
Assisted Living
In our Assisted Living, Members receive support with
daily living but live much like they would if they were still
living in their own home. They still enjoy restaurant-style
menu dining and the Wellness Program. And they make their
own schedules and choices…our support staff is simply there
whenever an extra hand is needed.
Alzheimer’s & Memory Care
In Memory Care Members enjoy family-style dining
each meal and an active social program geared specifically for people who are living with memory impairment,
Alzheimer’s or other dementia. Memory Care Members also
enjoy our WAVES program selected by the Assisted Living
Federation of America (ALFA) as a Best of the Best Program
for Alzheimer’s and Memory Care. WAVES is an aquatic
-based experience, led in our heated therapy pool, stimulating
cardiovascular and cognitive functions. The exercise strengthens bonds between residents and caregivers while lowering
agitation.
Skilled Nursing
In Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, Members continue
to enjoy fine cuisine from our Executive Chef, person-centered
service, and opportunities to heal and rehabilitate after surgery, injuries or illness.
Home Health
We want our Members to remain independent in their own
home and to do that, our Supportive Services Team can help
with the activities of daily living right where they live. Running
errands, help with bathing and dressing, medication reminders
and companionship are all available on a pay as you need basis.
Rehabilitation and Therapy Center
Members of Brightwater also benefit from having a
Rehabilitation and Therapy Center on site. Offering physical,
occupational and speech therapy, the Center’s goal is to help
Members regain strength, abilities and a high quality of life.
In short, support is right here in our community if you
should ever need it.
On these pages, you will find
a Community Map showcasing
our property as well as renderings
of some of our favorite floor plans.
Please be aware, this is not the
entire selection of floor plans at
Brightwater. Just a sample to get
you started.
In fact, if choice is what you are
looking for, then we’ve got plenty for
you to consider.

bedroom all the way up to three, with

We want People
to be better, feel
better and live
better with a
significantly higher
quality of life,
independently in
their own home.
You would expect to be
treated good anyway, but
here it’s been excellent.
And I don’t know how
you could get any better
facilities. No matter what
you request, it’s there.

The staff ’s tremendous.
Wellness
You need to come
when you can enjoy it.
You shouldn’t come when
you have to. That’s the
reason they build places
like this ! Why should we
give up that productivity
and that
freedom
by
waiting and wondering
if it’s the right time
to transition into a
beautiful place.

Wellness
Program
Brightwater has invested in the
equipment,
the
resources
and
experienced personnel in order to lead

Chi and Strength Training. In addition, add in fun stuff
like Line Dancing, Wii Sports and Beach Walks, and you’ve

levels.
Our Wellness Program assists our Members in
improving their quality of life through better cardiovascular function, increased strength, greater
flexibility,
better
balance,
enhanced
endurance,
intellectual stimulation, healthy menus, education and
overall fitness.
Our Wellness Program inspires our Members to have
fun and be more active, makes it easier to perform daily
activities, improves health and lowers risk for disease and
disability.

Cost Comparison
Your
Current House or the
Lifestyle at Brightwater
People making a decision to move to a
retirement community typically struggle
with two very important questions
Brightwater also offers a fixed cost. Each month you
know what your monthly service fee will be and that’s all
you pay. There are no fluctuating or extra charges.
If you are like most people, you are concerned about
outliving your money. You are also anxious over the unexpected and unpredictable costs that come with owning
a house.
Why would you want to leave your house?
The opportunity to live independently the rest of
your life AND live a better lifestyle… that’s the reason
why. Brightwater offers more freedom and services
than you’ll ever receive in your current house and at
an affordable price. Our community supports your
lifestyle now and provides a safety net of services
for the future, preserving your independence instead of
taking it away.
Brightwater offers solutions to both of those
problems. Most people find living here is $500 - $1,500
per month less than their current house ($6,000 - $18,000
per yr less). When you take into account the tax effects,
that’s like being paid $8,200 - $25,000 per year to live
at Brightwater.
We’ve
provided
the
following
worksheets
to help you analyze your costs and compare them with living
at Brightwater. Feel free to have our Lifestyle Advisors sit
down and work the sheets with you. We think you’ll find that
Brightwater is an affordable way to live a
longer, healthier and happier life.
1. Can I afford it?
2. Why would I want to leave the house
I’ve lived in for so many years?
